If we require further information to enable us to complete your registration with us we will contact you within 14 days of receipt of your forms, so please ensure we have a telephone number. If we are unable to contact you within this period your registration may be cancelled and you would be required to complete the registration forms again.

New Patient Forms

New patients are required to fill in the following 3 forms to in order to register:

If you are registering with the practice and are between the ages of 40 – 74 years and without any previous medical history of note( i.e. no diabetes, cardiovascular disease, etc.) we would like you to undertake an NHS health check as part of your registration.

Please do not worry, as the results of this check do not mean that we will not register you.

The health check has been designed for patients in the age cohort to help prevent cardiovascular disease from developing.

Temporary Registration

If you are unwell whilst away from home, or if you are not registered with a doctor but need to see one you can receive emergency treatment from a local GP practice by registering as a temporary patient. You can opt to be registered for either 16 days or 3 months, after which you would need to either re-register temporarily or become a permanent patient.

Temporary registration allows you to be on the local practice list yet still remain a patient of your permanent GP.

To register as a temporary patient simply visit the local practice you wish to use. Practices do not have to accept you as a temporary patient, although they do have an obligation to offer emergency treatment. You cannot register as a temporary patient at a practice in the town or area where you are already registered.
